Sleep
Finally, finally!
After three days!
I've finished the game.
I'm happy, amazed!
I hop on my bike
'Cause now that it's beat,
I'll return the game to
My friend down the street.
I ride down the road.
A hill's up ahead.
I get to the to-
WHAM!
Nothing
They're holding me down!
Panic!
Nothing
Motion! Car's moving!
Lift me up, quick!
Puke
Nothing
"What day is it?"
How should I know?
Foot feels broken.
Nothing
Two men in green.
A needle! No! Struggle!
Needle breaks in my arm
Nothing
Freezing.
On a bed.
Hand holds mine.
Open my eyes
I hurt so much.
I see Mom.
Sitting by me.
Crying.
Wait. Wait. Wait.
Ask for my friend.
I'm scared.
He came!
Pass out
Doctor wakes me.
Checks me over
Cold clinical attitude.
He stitches my head.
My friend can't stay near.
A cast on my leg.
Head starting to clear.
They give me a room.
The darkness starts to creep.
But this time I don't pass out,
I finally sleep.

Do the fruits really grow on trees
There are no cuts or whips or bruises
Not a single

A bedsheet is a palace
Through the eyes of a child
A garden, a jungle
Where lions run wild
A box is a car
Or a house, or a boat
